Sorry to hijack your post, Raiden, but:
I go into a little more detail about my intentions, there. Also thanks to jade and everyone else for being a good sport <3 I hope you enjoyed it xD

Amazingly commendable of you, Jade. I know you don't know me, but I'm proud of you. Glad to see there's still people willing to admit when they're wrong, and go so far as to issue a public apology, and on the internet of all places.
You rock.

Woah, mind blown.
I sincerely apologize to iGreeN for indirectly suggesting that you were to be suspended. Also for any mean things I may have said while in the moment.
I, too, was posting without a single thought that it would be a hidden giveaway. If it will be of any help, I will be happy to edit or delete any comments I made on that thread.
Thank you for your contribution to the community and I humbly hope you will accept my apology.
PS: If anyone wants proof that he did not trade the game for profit, it can be seen as a screenshot in his giveaway

Neither do you, but you're not the one apologizing about it.

Yeah. While it was a misunderstanding that has been rectified, iGreeN should be getting more support than the green bird.

Well fuck, you weren't not the only one taking a swing at him.
Sorry iGreen, the least i expected was to see something like that, genuine troll was genuine there, gotta say it though.
Glad to see this is now out in the open, i cant blame you iGreen for holding a grudge against me now, so feel free to take a swing if you want to.
(yeah i suck at apologies)
I do hope you havent got scared that much from this site and stick around, maybe we should try to loosen up and drop the torches from time to time, so stuff like this doesnt happen.

its kool u apologize and even tho i dont care for the op its not you guys that would scare him away. but this website is too troll heavy. therefore the community is getting shitty. i have great times on other forums but this one is pretty harsh, ill stick to just entering giveaways.

This all plays into my theory that steamgifts.com is a living organism (users are basic cells, Mods are nerve cells, giveaways are organs) What we just saw here was an example of homeostasis.

more like a cancerous tumor, but with the benefit that you might win a game every once in awhile if you decide to have it stick around.

Here's something summarizing this situation.
And If he didn't want to be slashed he wouldn't have been an idiot; he just wanted to make you all look bad. This community deserves an applause for being incredibly tolerant.

The screenshot in his giveaway of the Support ticket is only half and he really was suspended until the gifts issue was sorted, in case anyone is curious.
I'm also curious how many begging threads are going to be created with everyone trying to figure out the hidden meaning until they realize OP is really begging.

This thread probably contains a hidden PC giveaway too.

I use to make them and you guys hid them a few times thinking I was serious...

Kudos to both of you! To iGreen for pulling through even when being treated in a rather unkind way and having this really clever idea.
To Jade for admitting his fauls (I can't imagine it was that bad. However, didn't read everything) making them public and apologising in such a noble way. Hats off!
But seriously: People on this forum need to be less aggressive!

Holy shit man, that's crafty. Not to mention ballsy on iGreeN's part.
I'm not condemning anyone, just sort of thinking that we (myself, mods, everyone) can all learn something from Cult, Incoq, Detnom, and Andy2T. Mainly the part about not witchhunting people, because sometimes, they just aint witches.

I completely missed this epic instance of trolling. A very good trolling, I might add.
I has a sad.
(No, I wouldn't have entered it anyway; I'm not interested in that game. But if only I were able to see this go down in real time...)
"You deserve a medal, doc!"

The breaking the rules part had very little to do with the giveaway, actually. His friend gifted a game to him in a private giveaway to test the system; the game was never gifted because it was just a test.

I think I'm speechless. That thread was a giveaway? Holy freaking crap. I'm glad iGreeN's unbanned at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well that's good. I just remember clicking his profile and seeing "Banned" on it (so I assumed he was banned, not just suspended -- sorry for using the wrong word there).
...and I did find it really odd that someone who had done a few giveaways himself would make a thread like that.

As many of you already know, iGreen made a rather controversial thread a few days ago. His thread looked very much like a begging thread, to make puzzle giveaways easier so that he could get into them. Naturally, this was met with considerable backlash. I was one of the larger presences in that thread, and I was fairly angry, as I have made repeated puzzle giveaways, and here's some utter prat attacking my generosity because he's too stupid to get into them?
Then emerged that one of his previous wins was neither in his game library nor his inventory. We pretty much just laid into him then, especially me. The mods were called, lokonopa (I believe) banned him and closed the thread, but not before Cult called us all foolish.
I was confused by that response, since he had very clearly violated not one but two rules, one of them very serious (no begging and no trading wins), yet we were the fools? Anyway, after he was banned, I let it drop from my mind. Another begging idiot gone from our minds forever. Good riddance.
But then, the thread was re-opened, iGreen unbanned and Cult made another odd post (since deleted) that made me think 'Hold on, I think I'm missing something here.' So, while with all begging threads, I make an effort to scan for hidden links in case they're being sneaky and subversive, I had not found anything with iGreeN's thread, leading me to assume it was entirely legitimate in its entitlement and whining. But I gave it another go and began using random letters from the original post that stood out to me. Lo and behold, the very first letter of each sentence. 6-Z-L-1-c.
Well, shit.
Now, I had said quite a few highly aggressive things in the thread and even, for the lulz, convinced CaspianRoach to blacklist iGreeN from their easy puzzle giveaway. While I couldn't say anything to CaspianRoach at the time without giving the game away, I could do some things. First off was deleting nearly every comment I made on iGreeN's thread. Second, was apologising sincerely on the giveaway page and apologising personally to iGreeN as well as lokonopa and Cult for causing the hassle I did. While iGreeN was expecting some backlash, I went too far and I want to make up for that.
So, now that the giveaway has ended, I can apologise in public in an attempt to make iGreeN a less hated name for those that stopped following the original thread and therefore won't pick up on his, admittedly far too good, trolling. I'm sorry. iGreeN is not a bad guy, at all. I screwed up and I'm apologising for that, not only to iGreeN, but to everyone on Steamgifts.
